thank you @outontheeaves

Thanks for all the feedback on the new series. This has been another incredibly emotional, honest, fascinating rollercoaster for #JourneysInSound. I’m always so grateful to my guests for their generosity of time, openness and spirit to this process of understanding. Of my enquiry into their deeper experience and their relationship to music in all its forms throughout their lives. Huge thanks 🙏🏼 … … to Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy) @wignifier for sharing his early memories of acting, his friendship group made of “idols” because he was moving school so much, his immense appreciation of Madonna and the community spirit he wanted to put out into the world through his latest album #WeAreTogetherAgain ❤️ … to Mali Larrington Nelson (Shy One) @shylcart for her memories of the Caribbean community in London which raised her, the clubs and love she has for her found musical family and the understanding and compassionate voice she found towards herself through an adhd diagnosis whilst making her latest album #Mali ❤️ … to Max Cooper for his reminisces about early life in Belfast and how it shaped him, seeking refuge in club culture, how ultimately making music has provided a safe haven and space for self expression and the way in which that’s amplified through latest album #FeelingIsStructure❤️ … and to Ed O’Brien for his raw sharing of a turbulent personal journey making his latest album #BlueMorpho which has resulted in a sense of healing and wholeness, additions to his wellbeing toolkit he could never have imagined previously and his love and gratitude for the people he’s chosen to make music with and beyond ❤️ Thank you Will, Mali, Max and Ed ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Listen now to all episodes in this series of JourneysInSound @bbc6music @bbcSounds now …. plus episodes w/ @kellyleeowens @bethditto @jeffgoldblum & @brettanderson1967 - link in bio And thank you for listening 🫶🏼

thank you @ryes.and.shine.cork

bought this at the marvelous @institutdumondearabe in paris a month ago. the book is made up of many brief and illuminating entries exploring the costs of genocidal capitalism.

Will Oldham / This incredible and important singer/songwriter, recording these days as Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, has long been on our shortlist of total cover heroes. But would he agree to reinvent himself in tribute to his own hero, the Egyptian-Greek legend of music, Demis Roussos? He would! And also to get in-depth with Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip about songwriting, inspirations and the conundrum of originality vis-à-vis creativity. Don’t miss this one!
